ROFLMAO - something educational at Disneyland. Go figure!

who knows? maybe they'll finally pass a law saying all guests (even APs) have to take a written test before entering a theme park :D:

I can 'do' that. But since I'm not allowed to handle sharp objects(pens/pencils),should I bring my own crayon,or will one be supplied?

I remember back in the 60s you guys had an Indian Village, or at least a tepee where Indians did dances. I remember when my family and I went to Disneyland and saw the Indian show, this fellow--whether you used actual Native Americans or not, but I would think so--came out of the central tepee with a microphone in his hand, greeted us, made a comment on the hot weather, and introduced the dances, telling us something about them. I remember sitting near/behind us was a little girl and her mother, and the girl asked her mother why the Indians were holding arrows and feathers. The mother replied, "To add to the dance, dear." What I remember most was that our host--and the dancers--wore breechclouts with blue wraparound "undies" underneath. But it was educational--an introduction to a part of Native American culture most people didn't see, because back then all they saw in the movies and on T.V. about Indians was that they had a penchant for killing white people, being able to ride a horse without a saddle, saying "How!" and otherwise talking like Neanderthals. And let's not forget the Monsanto exhibit, I think it was at the exit to the Carousel of Progress. Come to think of it, there were quite a few things at Disneyland that could be classified as educational.So the mention of Disneyland and educational in the same sentence is not an oxymoron.

Darph, we'll allow you to bring chalk :) but it must be turned in to a CM when test is finished. Heard you like to scrawl on everything in sight! :D:

What the hell..changing TSI? How dare they? Damn that has been a staple on every trip to Disneyland I have taken. Look, I love pirates too but damn it let my TSI alone. If more kids read instead of being glued to the idiot box, they'd know who the great Tom Sawyer is. I was sad when they took out Seesaw Rock and Merry Go Round Rock. Then they closed Fort Wilderness with the pop guns. Arrgh, now I'm pissed off. I need to go and relax. Wait, I can't! TSI was where I used to go. GRRRRRR...

With the seesaw rock, merry go round rock, tunnel, guns all being gone then there is nothing left there but a shell of the former TSI. What is left but the peed in caves? That is a memory from the 25th anniversary 25 hours party.

No Way. Chalk is too hard to chew on,besides,the way I write,the test would have to be the size of a Greyhound bus. :D:

Besides,tagging is immature.

Ok... here's the skinny (at least from the WDW MK Frontierland Managers):

1) Disneyland's TSI will be closing and refurbished / rethemed as a Pirate environment. This is due to TSI's poor state of repair and the proximity of DL's Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.

2) There will be NO changes to WDW's TSI. This is due to the WDW TSI's much better state of repair (when compared to DL's) and the distance between WDW's TSI and Pirates attractions.

[mechurchlady]

Disrepair, lol, I heard all the varmints left the island years ago for better place to live. I wonder if they will make TSI CMs dress like wenches and pirates. Thanks for the info.

Now if they could repair the whole park.

:sits on old TSI bench by water and has one last good cry: I'll miss it.
